Project baby BEL

by Mr Rae, 06-12-2019, 03:02 PM

Now then before i begin there is no cheese involved in this project, its because the motors red and has BEL on my number plate......no im not calling it "Project bel end".

I bought this car in august last year and as you can imagine going from a saxo to this was quite a step, but like a kid in a sweat shop i was very excited.



This was in the garage before i parted with my hard earned cash.

Carbon Fibre Moulding

by Rabster, 05-12-2019, 12:09 PM

Ok so i may be getting my hands on some genuine carbon fibre moulds for some items how hard is it to make carbon fibre items from genuine moulds

I have the patience and the environment at work to do it, but is there anything special i might require or any tips on what to do

lets say i was doing the plug cover on the RB25 what would i need to get and what sort of cost is involved in it......

using the above as an example......

I saw the best/worst thing tday

by K20a2, 05-12-2019, 11:45 AM

I was on my way into work and this guy came and sat right us my ass so I just stayed doin the limit just to realy annoy him. He kept tryin to over take but didnt quite have the stones (sorry little chavs in saxos do my head in. cruddy halfords toys covered in crud.) But anyway. We got to a set of trafic lights and he pulled up into the lane next to me so I casuly looked over to see him being very rude and abusive with these hand signs and what not. The lights went yellow and he must have put his foot down without liftin his clutch because it just made this horrible noise and he just sat there not moving. The lights went green and he sort of half wheel span off the line by which point I was gigglin to myself to much im still sat there. I saw him turn around to have a look over his shoulder at me then all there was was this massive bang. He had driven into the back of the car that was waitin at the next set of lights (20 meters from the first set) and to top it all off it happened to be a brand new brightly marked police car this guy went into. I actuly thouht i was goin to cry with laughter.

teamSPB Project D*FN U - 4 SMD 18's,SPL D 25kwrms,16v,Air ride, PC, Carsson rims!

by teamspb, 05-12-2019, 01:32 AM

Hi everyone, I thought I would let you in on a project im currently building for myself....It got under way a little while ago, but having to constantly work on customer vehicles/boxes/installs etc etc, its VERY difficult for me to find the time to work on it....
Over the past few weeks, I have cracked on as much as I can...but also had to do around 15 sub boxes for customers, as well as around 4-5installs...on top of answering calls, emails, pms as well as living my life, its been stressful!

The vehicle is still no where near complete, but I thought I would put this up just so you guys can see what we are capable of building....

First up, I have to thank the following people....who without, this wouldnt have been possible!

Am - AA/Fi/Knu Konceptz distro....without you, this dream wouldnt have happened! Thanks for your endless support and answering my million and one questions! Guy is a pure LEGEND in my eyes! Now im gonna bug u with my million and one power supply questions LOL!!!...

Indirectly, although I have never spoken to....a HUGE shout out to Scott...the designer and brains behind AA/Fi...You are simply the best at what you do! Never has a sub brought such a smile to my face...and NEVER have I NOT got bored of a sub/s! Thats a HARD feat on its own LOL!

Mike and Colin - CAD...you guys are AWESOME at what you do! Without you guys I would be VERY stuck at deciding what amps to use! Also thanks for your endless support when things havent gone quiet right on the amp front
or when I needed extra sound deadening at the last minute lol!

Ray @ Rayvern - For all the hard work you guys put into the air ride systems...all the problems we faced with weight issues....I hope when the batteries go in, things are still A OK LOL!

Nikki and Mike - For ALL their hard work on the flocking! They are AMAZING at what they do and I would never go anywhere else for the flocking work!

Loudboy - For the 4mm deadening....Well its 8mm + more in my case!! haha

Sonnie at Grove Automotive - These guys are the daddies when it comes to electrical systems for vehicles!! My alts would never of happened unless it was for you!!

Bobby (number 1)/Bobby (number 2)/Sandeep/Rohit/Mr C/Mana....basically the WHOLE teamSPB family - Without your help....this project wouldnt have got off the ground...literally when it came to putting the subs and box in LOL!!!

Kit...you were the one who kept me strong through all of this...thank you for all you effort and putting up with me throughout the whole build...most of all...thank you for having faith!

Thank you to ALL the above...your all golden in my eyes!

Now, a message for the haters...I aint going anywhere...im here to stay! Hate all you want...but this project is MY own sweat, blood and tears...if you dont like it...please jog on!

This install is NOT built do smash the mic apart...its also not built to be louder than anyone in particular...just something thats loud for what it is, and gets me noticed more than my Focus! I DO NOT CARE if Am's is louder than mine...just like I dont care if I dont beat Ian Pinder/the joose (Matt)/Mark Smith etc etc etc...If its loud enough for me...its all good!

Another message to you ALL...there is WAY too much hatred in this game! TOO many FALSE whispers! I have respect for EVERYONE in the audio game...if they dont show respect and a mutual understanding back...those are the haters im talking about!
Right...enough of the ****...its time to introduce the vehicle! Which may cause a bit of a stir LOL!!!

Scooby owners

Those of you that have the P1 type spoiler attached, could you please do me a huge favour and measure the width of the base mountings from outside of one to outside of the other, please. Got something in mind, but not sure if it will work without the measurements.


Thanks in advance
